Once upon a time in a land far away lived a king and queen who had a baby princess. They invited twelve good fairies to come to the christening, and they would help with magic gifts such as beauty and kindness for the baby. But a thirteenth fairy that had been forgotten for years, also showed up. She brought bad wishes and said that when the baby was sixteen, she would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. The twelfth fairy stepped forward and gave her gift, which was to change the bad fairy's wish into the princess sleeping for 100 years, instead of dying. On her sixteenth birthday, the princess slipped away and in the castle found an old woman spinning, and sure enough, the princess approached, pricked her finger, and fell into a deep sleep. The twelfth good fairy was there too, and cast a spell on everyone in the castle and put them to sleep for as long as the princess slept. And after many years, so it happened that a prince appeared, and cut down the brambles and thorns, and went into the castle where he found the sleeping servants, and princess.

A long time ago, in a country far away, there once lived a very vain emperor who liked to spend a lot of his people's money clothes for himself, and to preen, and to look his best. One day two men arrived who told the emperor they were tailors. The men ordered the best fabric, which they kept for themselves, to sell in a market, and instead they pretended to weave and make new clothes for the emperor. These rogues tricked the emperor into believing he had new clothes - which he wore in a great procession in front of his people. It was only the courage of a little boy who drew everyone's attention to the truth...This story is retold from a Hans Christian Andersen story.
